Pitched in C, the most common size in classroom and ensemble parts. Sits high and cuts through easily.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between Baroque and German fingering?
They differ mainly on F and F#. Baroque is the standard for real repertoire and plays those notes in tune; German simplifies F at the cost of other notes.
02Is this suitable for a school music class?
Yes, if the class uses Baroque fingering. Check with the teacher first, since many elementary programs use German.
03How do I stop it from clogging?
Warm the head joint in your hands before playing and swab it dry afterward. Condensation in a cold instrument is the usual cause.
04Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Wash the plastic body by hand with lukewarm water and let it dry fully before reassembling.
